legendary point guard

"Dude, do you think it's going to affect me? It's been like that in my [-]-year career, and I've never lost my game because of it, and the truth is, it's only dudes who say that. "

Dennis Rodman was blocked by reporters outside the Waterhouse Center early the next morning.

"If you have a lot of time, enjoy being human beings instead of being disgusting reporters."

After Rodman finished speaking, he directly pushed away the reporters surrounding him and walked into the center of the water house.

"Hey guys, how was last night? Boy, let me see if you're a soft-legged shrimp today. If it's sorry, you'll go home to your mother instead of me."

Rodman said, took off his shirt and threw it aside, and walked directly to Howard.

Stan Van Gundy, who walked to the sidelines, didn't say anything but asked everyone to stop to watch the heads-up between Howard and Rodman.

"You're a little bit better than yesterday, but still not good."

"Your force is directed in the wrong direction, even if it is a three-year-old child, you can't hit it."

"Yes, that's it, hit it again!"

"Good job!"

Rodman's voice continued to sound, and Howard's back-to-back punch was also corrected a little bit.

Howard has been carrying Rodman until 1 minute later before he blocked Rodman's hook.

But it's a pity that his hook hit the basket directly, and Rodman, who was pushed away by him, jumped up and took the rebound.

"I think I'm on the right team," Chris Webber said softly.

"Obviously yes, I believe that here you will witness the birth of a strong team." Pippen said with a smile.

After this matchup between Howard and Rodman, the team began normal training.

Because Rodman and Pippen had been away from the court for too long, they were pulled by the physical coach to do recovery training when the team was conducting basic training.

Half an hour later, Stan Van Gundy had a team practice and finally had a group confrontation.

Dennis Rodman's state shocked everyone. Rodman, who came off the bench, grabbed rebounds in 10 minutes. Dwight Howard couldn't even grab an offensive rebound under Rodman's care.

And Rodman even made exaggerated rebounding moves on the court. Not only that, Rodman's voice resounded throughout the court when the team was defending, constantly urging the players to be tighter and more aggressive.

At 12:30 pm on December [-]th, the Waterhouse Center was overcrowded again. Many fans who failed to buy tickets were unwilling to leave but chose to watch the live broadcast on the LED screen together outside the arena in the Waterhouse Center.

With three and ten minutes to go, Stan Van Gundy was sitting in the locker room with the final touches.

Tonight's opponent, the Atlanta Hawks, has a lot less pressure on Stan Van Gundy, and this is the third time Linsen has faced the Atlanta Hawks this season.

However, the previous two games played against the Eagles on behalf of the Timberwolves, and this is the first time he played against the Eagles on behalf of the Magic.

And this fight is also the second time the Magic have played against the Hawks this season, which means that it is no accident that Lin Sen will play against the Atlanta Hawks five times in his rookie season.

This is not a big deal for Linsen, but it is undoubtedly a naked injury to Atlanta fans.

In particular, Lin Sen, whom they gave up, is advancing along a bright road, and they choose Sheldon Williams. The best ideal state can only be a blue-collar team.

The eagle's poor record did not affect the enthusiasm of the fans. Every player in the Magic got hit cheers, especially Rodman's cheers even surpassed Howard when he played.

"Dennis is still very popular even though he has been away for so many years." Orlando's on-site commentator said.

Howard succeeded in an easy jump ball, and the Magic successfully scored in the first round of offense, and it was still an alley-oop.

"It seems that we are really going to become the city of lobs!" said the live commentator, looking at Howard who was high-fiving Lin Sen.

Although the Eagles quickly responded with a mid-range shot by Joe Johnson, Linsen returned to the offensive end and went straight to the basket.

Facing Josh Smith's supplementary defense not only sent the ball into the basket but also caused Josh Smith's foul.

Then the Eagles missed a shot, and the Magic's counterattack started immediately, and finally Turkoglu hit a three-pointer from the outside.

If it weren't for Joe Johnson's 14 points in a single quarter, the Hawks would not have been only 6 points behind in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Chris Webber led the Magic's second team to play, and Dennis Rodman, who had just joined the team, undoubtedly became the focus of the audience.

The iconic colorful head won the applause of the fans, but Rodman obviously didn't come on the court for a stroll, and soon he made rookie Sheldon Williams pay the price.

Sheldon Williams watched the ball bounce off the frame and immediately jumped up. In his imagination, the defensive rebound was 100% his.

But soon he knew he was wrong. The colorful head appeared in front of his eyes, and the tattooed arm grabbed the rebound before him.

"Rookie, I appreciate your courage to rebound with me!" After speaking, Rodman threw the ball directly outside.

Rashad McCants on the perimeter catches and shoots the ball, but he knows it's not going in the moment he releases it.

Before McCants came and remembered to call for rebounds, Dennis Rodman inside had already moved his feet.

Sheldon Williams tried to squeeze space, but he couldn't push Rodman.

Sheldon Williams watched helplessly as Rodman jumped up in front of him and put the ball into the basket.

"Rookie, the bench is your best destination!" Rodman glared at Sheldon Williams.

As Rodman said, Mike Woodson moved Sheldon Williams to the sideline in less than three minutes.

Originally, he was counting on Sheldon Williams to protect the team's interior defense and rebounds during this period, but he was directly overwhelmed by a 46-year-old veteran who has been out of the league for six years.

In less than 3 minutes, Rodman grabbed 5 rebounds. This rebounding efficiency shocked everyone, especially Rodman's continuous jumping and grabbing rebounds made people doubt that the Rodman he saw was still in the 90s That Rodman.

However, Rodman was replaced by Stan Van Gundy after playing less than 4 minutes on the court. For Rodman, two to three minutes of continuous high-intensity games are fine, and problems will arise if the time is longer.

Rodman's outstanding performance directly stimulated the performance of the Magic team. At the end of the first half, the team had already scored in double figures with 5 players, leading the Eagles by 18 points.

When the third quarter ended, as many as 8 players from the team scored in double figures, and the Eagles surrendered early.

Mike Woodson stood on the sidelines and felt as uncomfortable as standing on fire. When the game ended, the center of the water house became a sea of ​​joy again.

Nine players from the team scored in double figures, and finally won three consecutive victories with a 134:88 victory over the Eagles.

But the biggest surprise of the audience was undoubtedly Dennis Rodman, who had left the NBA for six years at the age of 46 and only grabbed 4 rebounds in less than 6 minutes. (To be continued.)
